How can I use Layout Inspector for apps installed from Google Play?

I was trying to use LayoutInspector for apps from Google Play. I have a rooted device so when I do "Show all processes", all the running apps developed by me are displayed but not the official ones.

Solution

  • You can use UiAutomator2 Viewer ( a tool from android SDK)

    { your sdk path} \tools\bin\uiautomatorviewer.bat

    This tool shows the complete hierarchy and attributes of all elements visible on the device display (no matter which app is running).

    enter image description here

    Also in the "Katalon studio" we have a tool named Mobile Spy which do the same + full Xpath

    enter image description here

    Note that you should have adb server running with connecting the device. so the "adb devices" must return device id.
